However, cashless payments via digital apps, ticket in ticket out systems and debit card payments at cash desks are currently permitted in the land-based gambling sector. It is also possible to pay for chips at a casino gaming table by turning away from the table and completing a debit card transaction with a staff member.</p><p>We are considering issues around payment methods as part of our wide-ranging Review and will publish a White Paper setting out our conclusions and next steps in due course.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 28/03/2023 10:13:05 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
